I'm still excited about discovering this great community you have here, so let me share with you a question I have been long dealing with.

My primary programming language is Java. I use to work on a PC remotely connected to linux machines. I usually use eclipse to code, then run my code on the remote machine. This is also why it was natural for me to use EPIC when I started writing in perl.

I know there there alternatives - such as vi for hardcore dudes - but I really prefer the windows interface.

The problem is I really feel the IDE experience perl+EPIC offer me is very limited. Refactoring , call hierarchy, auto-completion etc. are all very limited if at all possible. I guess some of these are due to basic features of the language, but still, is there an alternative IDE solution that does better?

Thanks!
